Yeah, me.
Though my regrets were more to do with my specific 172 :dapprove:
I got over it and bought a 182 to replace it :rasp:

Kev, you've only sat in it for ten mins.... You've owned it since May 2007!!!:rasp:
I kinda wish I'd got a 182, but if truth be told I can't really complain since in reality there's little, if any performance difference that I can see.
I think the 182 rear end looks better with the twin exit exhaust system that's all, and of course it'd be a bit newer than a 172.
+1 on the 106 GTi's though... most fun car I've ever owned (even though it spent most of its time broken).

i do love my cup and the colour, but i sometimes miss the discreetness of my old 172 and all the toys, especially the xenons

Only had mine a few days so not regretting it yet!
Everyone of my friends loves it! I think I'm slightly embarrassed when people ask what my new car is and I say 'it's a Clio' but everyone seems to instantly know what it is, even some of my girl mates which I'm suprised about - 'oh, it's a 172 Sport! I love it!'
brings a massive smile to your face, and compared to the Fiesta has sooo many little bits to play around with

put it this way, i bought my 172 2 years ago for £7200 (was very high price even at that time) but worth it due to low millage and warranty etc. then i paid £2500 3rd party to insure it at 18. never looked back since, i love it, best car ive ever owned, i can now afford to insure much faster cars, most of my mates have 400bhp+ evos, imprezas etc and yet i dont want to change, theres nothing under £30,000 id change it for!!

You're 19 and your friends are driving about in 400bhp+ Japanese weapons?
And maybe you can afford to insure faster cars, but then saying that I would too if I was paying £2.5k on insurance tpft!

I was in a similar situation to you then, only reason I opted for the 172 over the Elise was because of university - I really don't think an Elise would have been suitable nor affordable as a student!
woop im so excited i could actually run around squeeling like a little school girl lol train tickets arrived today!!
